The intraperitoneal or oral administration of pyrazinamide and pyrazinoic acid (pyrazine 2-carboxylic acid) resulted in a marked increase of the NAD content in rat liver. The injections of pyrazine and pyrazine 2,3-dicarboxylic acid exhibited no significant effect on the hepatic NAD content. The boiled extract obtained from liver and kidney of rat injected with either pyrazinamide or pyrazinoic acid exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on the aminocarboxymuconate-semialdehyde decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.45) activity in either lier or kidney, although pyrazinamide or pyrazinoic acid per se did not inhibit the enzyme activity. The unknown inhibitor of aminocarboxymuconate-semialdehyde decarboxylase was dialysable and heat-stable, and mostly excreted in urine by 6 and 12 h after injected of pyrazinoic acid and pyrazinamide, respectively. Pyrazine 2,3-dicarboxylic acid, pyrazine, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, tryptophan, anthranilic acid, 5-hydroxyanthranilic acid and quinolinic acid exhibited no significant effect on the aminocarboxymuconate-semialdehyde decarboxylase activity in liver and kidney at the concentration of 1 mM in the reaction mixture. The expired 14CO2 from L-[benzen ring-U-14C]tryptophan was markedly decreased by the pyrazinamide injection, while the urinary excretion of 14C-labeled metabolites from L-tryptophan, mainly quinolinic acid, was markedly increased. These results suggest that the glutarate pathway of L-tryptophan was strongly inhibited by the inhibitor produced after the administration of pyrazinoic acid and pyrazinamide. Pyrazinamide but not pyrazinoic acid also exhibited a significant inhibition of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase in rat liver.
